Med udgangspunkt i hashtag-aktivisme, som bruger udtryk som ”I am” eller ”We are” til at skabe samhørighed og fællesskab med et offer, der er kommet medie-opmærksomhed omkring, vil jeg undersøge, hvordan ikke-exceptionelle affekter driver denne form for aktivisme. Jeg argumenterer for, at de affekter som driver denne online sammenhørighed, ikke er store følelser som vrede og chok, men i højere grad er det, jeg med Sianne Ngai kalder grimme følelser, såsom angst, paranoia og irritation. Ved at bruge Ngais teoriapparat om grimme følelser, undersøger jeg et udvalg af hashtag-bevægelser, som bruger ”I am” og ”We are”-betegnelsen til at skabe et fællesskab, både mellem offeret og individet og mellem individet og resten af bevægelsens individer. Ngais pointe er, at ’mindre’ eller ikke-exceptionelle, grimme følelser dominerer hverdagen i det senkapitalistiske samfund. Derfor argumenterer jeg for, at de disse følelser egner sig til denne form for hashtag-aktivisme, fordi privatsfærens hverdagslighed er en forudsætning for at skabe det lighedstegn mellem gruppe og individ, som er nødvendigt for, at ”I am”-bevægelsen kan få momentum. De følelsesstrukturer som er knyttet til hashtag-aktivisme indebærer en socialitet som kan udtrykkes med Susanna Paasonens begreb affektiv homofili, eller behovet for kollektivt at føle det samme på et givent tidspunkt. I min undersøgelse af ”I am”-bevægelserne undersøger jeg, hvordan den affektive homofili opstår ved brugen af diverse visuelle og tekstuelle markører på online-medier såsom Twitter og Instagram. Her ser jeg på, hvordan udtrykkene af de ikke-exceptionelle grimme følelser indgår i en hashtag-bevægelses fremdrift og knyttes til specifikke udsagn og billeder. Ngai, Sianne. 2005.

This article explores the following research question: How is political activism expressed in connective, affective, and embodied ways, and how do these modes result in a rearticulation of the body and central activist signifiers? While connective and affective dimensions of digital activism offer invaluable insights into the new forms of activist organisation, it remains underexplored how the activist body and the concepts of “human” and “rights” are discursively produced through digital expressions of activism. Therefore, drawing on a purposive selection of digital content, we produce a discursive analysis of three illustrative cases of digital activism relating to three major political contemporary issues: Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, and Extinction Rebellion. We argue that they each present different modes of embodied and discursively constructed signifiers of “human” and “rights”, which allows for a range of political aims and outcomes to be expressed through different degrees of antagonism calling, respectively, for deconstruction, inclusion, and expansion of the signifiers.

Denne artikel beskæftiger sig med danskernes opfattelse af nyheder. I modsætning til gængse studier af danskernes nyhedsbrug graver den et spadestik dybere og undersøger forskellige befolkningsgruppers opfattelser af nyheder: hvad ser man som nyheder, og hvilken rolle spiller de i dagliglivet og forholdet til andre borgere og samfundet. Undersøgelsen er baseret på dybdegående interviews med 101 borgere og et efterfølgende survey blandt 2000 tilfældigt udvalgte respondenter. I undersøgelsen vises det, at kendte faktorer som uddannelse, social status og familieforhold kun i nogen omfang forklarer forskellige tilgange til nyheder. I stedet er forholdet afhængigt af en lang række personlige og hverdagslige faktorer. Derfor forsøger vi med begreber om mål, middel og tid hentet fra Thomas Højrups livsformsanalyse at genanalysere vores materiale. Vi finder, at mål-middel-relationen og især forholdet til tid (og manglende tid) er afgørende faktorer i at forklare forskellige tilgange til nyheder. Til sidst i artiklen går vi tilbage og reflekterer over livsformsanalysens anvendelighed til at supplere eksisterende tilgange til studiet af nyheder og giver bud på fremtidige anvendelser i konkrete projekter.

This article proposes an extension to domestication theory by introducing the concept of collaborative domestication, which we define as the ongoing mutual influence and interdependence of technology users in specific interactional contexts. This concept arose from our investigation of how patients integrate healthcare-related video consultations into their daily lives. In Denmark, the Covid-19 pandemic has expedited the implementation of video consultations in general practice, yet little is known about their use in this context. To address this, we conducted 13 interviews with patients and analysed the interviews from the perspective of domestication theory. We find that the general practitioner plays a central role throughout patients’ domestication processes, and the doctor–patient relationship significantly influences how patients experience video consultations. We argue that there is a collaborative aspect to domesticating video consultations that needs to be considered in both future studies and the ongoing implementation of video consultations

Bluetooth-operated sex toys penetrate and are penetrated by the human body, leaving code behind. This article analyzes the relationships that develop between bodies and Bluetooth-operated interactive sex toys. Resembling the pods and portals of David Cronenberg’s film eXistenZ, interactive sex toys allow us to consider how technologies relate intimately to the sexual body. I use Massumi’s work on virtuality and affect theory as a starting point from which to frame embodiment, virtuality, and the circulation of affects. Further, I consider the importance of embodiment and the translations of intensities and vibrations through digital coding among the open sexual body, the technology of the sexual machine, and the applications that foster those connections, in the context of Bluetooth-operated sex toys. This article advocates the need to consider intimate encounters between interactive sex toys and bodies as complex technological and biological assemblages, where vibrating machines and the human body’s flesh come into intimate connection through datafication.

The platformed logics of social media favor unique and spectacular content and thus encourage the production and display of unique and spectacular bodies. In the realm of social media, attractive and unattainable bodies have emerged as the norm rather than the exception. This article, however, sets out to investigate how a specific type of spectacular body comes into being by turning to the phenomenon of mukbangs. We explore how excessive food consumption, audiovisual aesthetics, media technologies, and platform logics all become constituents of the spectacular body’s performance. Our analysis will focus on two tendencies: First, the platformed body is distributed and comes into being through its entanglement with nonhuman agents, such as the microphone enhancing eating sounds, the camera and image composition displaying the food’s excessive quantity, and the food’s entanglement with the body through a spectacle of excess. Second, mukbang videos cater to a spectating body ready to be affected by the exceptional body capable of extreme eating and how this bodily performance transcends the medium, and the videos produce disgust or cravings.

Sexualized images of the bodies of girls and young women – in some cases taken without the knowledge of those depicted, in other cases exchanged as part of erotic or romantic interactions – sometimes turn up in closed groups on social media and on websites and other online platforms. In their efforts to mark and prove masculinity, the (presumably) male participants in these fora share, trade, and evaluate such imagery. The young women depicted are generally commented upon in condescending ways. Based on a combination of digital ethnography and analogue fieldwork and interviews at a vocational school in Denmark, this article explores how boys and young men use sexualized female bodies to negotiate boundaries of masculinity, gendered positioning, and intimacy. Through new materialist and poststructuralist perspectives, we attend to the entanglements of social and technological phenomena enacting these practices.
